Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

However, later on, some of her friends got married while some went abroad. Everyone ended up parting ways.

Slowly, they contacted each other less, and the only one left in Casterwich City was Sharon. When Lauren got together with Zedd, she thought her life could finally turn normal again, yet she hadn't expected it to...

At that moment, Lauren broke down!

After so many years of hard work, she suddenly had nothing left! Her life was originally pleasant, but all it took was a man to have brought her back to square one. In fact, she was worse off than she had started because she was so broke that she couldn't even afford a taxi, let alone basic necessities.

In the past, her work was simple and she had a decent income. As rough as life would be, she still had her academic qualifications and abilities, so she wouldn't starve to death at least. But at the moment, she had nothing. She had a dirty reputation and even a child in her belly. How could she not be sad?

To put it bluntly, she had hit rock bottom. She couldn't be more miserable.

Thinking of this, Lauren became angry!

But what could she do? She was still on bail, and it was impossible for her to return to the Luther family to ask her aunt and cousin for help. If she went to them, she would be more ashamed than anything else.

"What?"

He was shocked by her words. Seeing that she was about to cry, although Willy did not know why, he still held her in his arms.

"What do you want money for?"

The moment he asked that, he realized that something was amiss. He took out another card and stuffed it into her hand. "This is my fault! I wasn't considerate enough! From now on, I'll give you money every day!"

Caressing her hair by her temples, Willy said softly, "Don't be sad! You have a lot of money now!"

Willy was still confused at the situation. Why was she overthinking about one thing after another this late at night? Why did she run out sorrowfully when she was broke, and was even crouched over on the street?

Holding the card, Lauren was enveloped in mixed feelings. The feeling of depending on someone's whim for her living lit her up in excitement for a moment, yet it still brought insecurity with it.

She sniffed. Her dilemma made her come to a decision in an instant - she wanted to make money!

The card that Willy gave her immediately relieved her worries by tenfold, but it still wasn't the same. Lauren finally understood that money could give her a sense of security, and that only money she made herself could make her feel completely reassured.

All of a sudden, she felt as if she had found the right direction to work towards. She was no longer as lost and bewildered as she was just now.

"It's getting late. It's time to go back!"

Wiping her messy appearance, Willy looked down and saw a strip of cloth at the corner of her collar. He moved the suit jacket and lifted it up with his fingertips... It was an obvious trace of torn fabric.

He frowned, and his voice turned a little fierce.

"How did it get torn?"

Lauren reached out to press it downwards, and pulled the suit back. "I'm fine!"

She felt a little aggrieved just now, but her emotions had calmed down and dissipated, along with her intentions of seeking comfort. It could be said that Lauren was awakened by cruel reality!

"Lauren!" Willy lifted her jaw, obviously dissatisfied that she was trying to brush this off!

"It was a pervert!"

As she spoke, she deliberately rolled her eyes at him while thinking, "A pervert no different from him."

After a pause, she said, "But I beat him up!"

Although she was unhappy to be taken advantage of, she was sure that the man must have been hurt badly by her two blows.

He knew she had great agility and was capable of taking care of herself, but was still angered at the thought of her getting taken advantage of. He did not say anything, and instead, straightened her collar.

"Let's go!"

Stepping aside, he held her hand in his, and put his other arm around her.

Concurrently, at the Clements family's house, Alicia, Victoria, Mrs. Clements and Miranda were gathered in the living room. Sitting on luxurious sofas, one was making marinated lemon slices, and the other was peeling bitter gourd. Synchronously, Mrs. Clements was gesticulating on the side

while Miranda was cleaning up some trash. In the living room, from time to time, waves of joyful laughter could be heard.

"Ally, put less lemons and more honey. I like them sweet!"

"Rhea, the bitter gourd should be sliced thinner. When it's dried, you can soak them and have a drink. I'll make you some rose honey drink that I've just prepared. They're delicious!" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Mrs. Clements then stood up again.

While holding Mrs. Clements's arm, Miranda raised her head and sighed.

"Mrs. Clements, please rest. You've been busy all night! You're either bothering yourself with the grapefruit tea, or lemonade tea. Do you want to stuff the two mistresses up?"

As their eyes met, Alicia chuckled at the same time as Victoria did.

"Grandma, why are you suddenly obsessed with this? There's so much, how will you finish them?"

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, Victoria also said, "Exactly! Look at this basket of bitter gourd, there are millions of them to be peeled! Are you making a lifetime supply of this?"

Moreover, these things were extremely cheap in the market! Buying them was much much more convenient!

The old lady finally sat down with a pleased smile

on her face.

"Not much, just one can per person. It will be finished in a week! Since there are so many people in the Clements Family, I intend to share them with every single one of them! Lemon is skin whitening, honey is detoxicating whereas bitter gourd will help break down the fatty acid and clear the

blockages in blood vessels. They are all good stuff! Anyway, I'm so free that I have nothing else to kill time with! I'm going to see my old friends in a few days, and I intend to give each of them a can of it as well! So, we still have to continue marinating and drying them in the sun..."

As she said this, the old lady took out a notebook and put on her glasses.

"Next time, you two come and make the next batch for me! And I've already done my research on hawthorn and wolfberry shrub tea recipes. There are even hawthorns planted in the backyard! From now on, I'll make them! Oh, my two granddaughter-in-laws are the best. Both of them are so obedient and filial. They always take turns to visit me, and would even visit me together from time to time, unlike my grandsons!" She said.

Before the three of them could reply, Mrs. Clements added, "Don't leave tonight, just sleep here!"

Since everyone was too busy to even come see her, she planned to keep all of them here to force her grandsons to visit her. If they didn't show up, she would keep all her granddaughter- in- laws captive!

They exchanged glances. Seeing how happy the old lady was, and how she had already voiced her decision, Alicia and Victoria kept silent as they didn't want to ruin her plan even though they did feel a little uneasy about this.

Fredrick had gone to the suburbs for a project inspection, so it was fine for Alicia to stay here since he wasn't in Casterwich City. However, Trevor was actually at home!

In the end, the two of them only smiled and nodded as they continued to help the old lady with what she wanted to do. Looking at the two, Mrs. Clements and Miranda were also grinning from ear to ear!

That night, Mrs. Clements was over the moon. When she entered her room, she was even happily chatting away with Miranda.

After returning to their own rooms, Alicia felt a little sleepy. After a quick bath, she went to bed while Victoria picked up her phone and sent Trevor a text.
